ssCALL A HALT.v

Marshall N. M1rdock-may his fortunes boom
Awoke one night at midnight's hour Of gloom;
But through the dark his piercing eyes did look
And saw spectsr writing In a book.
Much interviewing gave Marsh Murdock cheek.
And to the ghostly scribe he thus did speak:
What writest tnouT'-the goblin gave frown:
The names OF those who most do boom Their
town."
and is min. tha-e?" sereaely queried Marsh.
Not much the form replied in accents harsh
''oh. WELL" said Marsh. II am not finding fault;
Just enter me one who calls a halt
On spec1Iations wild in outlying Snaps"
That soon or later must bring dire collapse,
And hurt our Peerless Princess fair repute-"
Just then the writing spirit took chute
And vanished. but appeared again next night
In bright food OF white electric light,
And showed the names of those who doomed the
best;
And 10. Marsh Murdock's name led all the rest.

Mr. English thought the question should

Mr.. Healy called the attention Of the sew

Hr. Kenyon raised a kick over the parai-
izing condition Of the crossing OF the TT.
Scott road in the Fifth ward.
Mr.. Derby made his first speech in the
council in introducing the question OF en-
croaching upon the river. He said
be expected to agitate the question
until some action was taken to stop that
work. The entire city was endangered by
the few who were making town lots, and it
would be woe to the council who would allow
the city to be damaged by the overflow,
which if the work continued would be newt
able. His remarks were listened to with in
terests and all agreed that the question de-
mands the immediate attention Of the coun-
Gil.
Mr. Dyer thanked the mayor and council
for the honor conferred on him. Ii the
council should abide by his decisions he
would be responsible. If they should do
other wise he would not consider himself res
ponsible for their action. He was the ser
want of the council and would be always
ready to give advice desired

THE thermometer ranged one de-
gree higher yesterday than the day
before. Yet nobody suffered from the
heat in way to produce the enervat-
ing effects which are experienced in
other parts of the country when the
mercury goes up to 95 degrees. With
the exception of couple of hours
during the middle of the day, pleas
ant breeze tempered the hot rays of a
vertical sun. The same degree Of
heat in trans-Rocky mountain cities
would have produced innumerable
sunstrokes. Here we are free from
these terrible visitations, no matter
what height the mercury may reach.

to need reiteration. These muni
ments of title and the records of the
courts have come to be of great vol
ume and Of exceeding worth. Theil
loss would be simply irreparable, and
would cause confusion which would
throw the title to property into inextric.
able chaos. Such a catastrophe would
be almost fatal to the county. The
present proposition is not
to wait for the erection of the new
County Court House to provide
a place of safety for these records, but
to proceed at once with the erection of
a proper hall OF records. The objects
of such step are twofold. In the first
place, it will be a long time, several
years in, all probability, before the
court house can be completed; and,
furthermore, when finished it will not
be, however we'll built it may be, just
the right thing as depository for the
county archives. For this a separate
edifice, perfectly fire-proof, should be
provided. Here the risk of destruc-
ton would be reduced to the smallest
possible ratio of probabilities. There
is pie sty Of room on the present court
house site for such a t;;la n,;;la-
ing. 1t might 60 on one of
the corners of the block, where
it would be an ornament to the
city. The taxpayers, every person
who owns bit of real property In the
county, are directly and vitality inter-
ested in this proposition, and there
can hardly be one such in the county
who would not hail with delight the
that the Supervisors
were about to proceed with the cree
ton of proper building in which to
house the evidences of their titles.
The sight of the present old fire-trap,
with all the dangers of conflagration,
must make property holders tremble
as they pass through its miserable
halls, crowded as they are with these
records so vitality necessary to the ex-
istence of the the community. By all
means let the Hall of Records be built
with all possible dispatch.

THE Express, curiously enough,
treats the nomination of Powell by the
Ohio Democratic Convention as coal
oil triumph of the Payne ring. All
accounts go to prove that Powell was
nominated in opposition to, and in
spite of, the Payne programme. A
little bit of honest comment once in a
while from Republican papers, when
treating Democratic topics, would be
refreshing.
